Reviews for I'd Know You Anywhere, My Love
35 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This realistic fictional book is about a mother who is talking to her granddaughter about how she will always know her granddaughter, no matter what. She knows all of the features of her body. She compares certain features to different animals, such as horses, raccoons, bear cubs or owls. Her granddaughter has clever toes, a happy dance, a particular chin. The granddaughter is very unique and so is every person.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Presented in rhyming verse, the text in this reassurance tale from Nancy Tillman, who is perhaps best known for her picture-book On the Night You Were Born, is a record of a mother's ability to always recognize her child, no matter what disguise he employs, or what shape he assumes. It begins: "There are things about you quite unlike any other... / things always known by your father or mother. / So if you decide to be different one day, / no worries... I'd know you anyway," and continues from there, following the child through many animal guises.I've been curious about Nancy Tillman's work for a while, but it was only when a friend asked me to compare I'd Know You Anywhere, My Love to Sam McBratney's Guess How Much I Love You (another reassurance tale), that I finally got around to investigating. Unfortunately, I just wasn't that impressed. The idea here is rather similar to that found in Margaret Wise Brown's classic, The Runaway Bunny - i.e.: that the parent will always find and know the child - but the text here is often rather clunky, and the artwork, created digitally I believe, is an odd mix of realistic and fantastic. Altogether, this title simply didn't work well for me. Perhaps some of the others by this author are superior?
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Beautiful illustrations but a text that's pure saccharine.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Wonderful pictures and prose that would be a delight to read to a child, or grandchild! This one is a keeper for my granddaughters.
